Your Body The Teacher

Helping you find Healing, Joy, and Authenticity through greater awareness of your body’s intelligence.

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is body-centered healing, designed to bring you physical, mental, and emotional freedom, and create deep and lasting fulfillment in your life and in your relationships.

My somatic approach works by helping you access vibrant, non-ordinary states of consciousness, then teaching your conscious mind how to understand the unconscious wisdom and intelligence being expressed by your body. Once this body information becomes conscious, it’s much easier to change the habits and patterns that are no longer serving you.

I prioritize safety, especially regarding boundaries and emotional regulation.

Hakomi

Hakomi Therapy is a mind/body dialogue process, offering a powerful path to self-discovery and self-acceptance. This is life-changing work.

Transformational Bodywork

Transformational Bodywork is a blend of Hakomi Therapy and Massage Therapy, helping you deepen, release, and repattern.

Changing Your Filters

Hakomi Therapy can assist this transformation in two significant ways.

Welcome to Body and Soul Somatic Therapy!

I offer a safe and supportive space for you to find emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing. My approach honors the richness of who you are as a human being, and the complexity of your unique journey up to this point. I help you nurture the parts of you that are ready to heal, and help you listen to and understand the parts of you that aren’t. I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to help you realize how much love and strength and emotional intelligence you already possess, even if they’ve been deeply buried, and to offer you the tools to bring them forward and make them a very real part of your life!

Please browse my website, and feel free to contact me if you want to schedule a session, or if you have questions.

Blessings to you on your path to greater peace and wholeness.

Testimonials

"Ken’s integrity, patience, gentleness and nonjudgmental way of being present is helping me learn to listen to my body in order to change old patterns that no longer serve me. I am finding my voice, learning to set boundaries and becoming more comfortable with and accepting of myself. I smile and laugh more and have experienced a sense of belonging and connectedness that I’ve never before felt. "- K.N.

"Ken is a teacher/healer whose passion is communication and relationships. He taught me to first communicate with my body, understand and express what it was telling me, and then helped me express myself in a clear way to be able to get my needs met in relating to other people. I have spent so much of my life disconnecting, or avoiding relationships. Ken has helped me learn how to be visible in relationships and to get my needs met with a variety of strategies. He takes the time to help me experience this new territory in baby steps. He gives from his heart and soul to help you find your heart and soul. I have never met a more compassionate and patient man or therapist. "- R.M.

"I was living unaware of what my body was telling me and disconnected from what I needed. Working with Ken Porter has been a beautiful unfolding of many layers of my life. His keen, insightful, somatic approach has allowed me to connect with what is going on in my body and find answers in a safe environment. This reconnection of mind and body has been a surprising and refreshing new way of living."- J.C.
